Ski Dubai

Ten years ago, if you had said you were planning on going Skiing during your holiday in Dubai, most would have assumed you meant sand skiing.

Perhaps even today, you might get some confused looks if you tell those unfamiliar with Dubai that you had been skiing whilst on holiday in Dubai. Dubai unfortunately does not like to be outdone. As a destination, the government wants to offer visitors on a Dubai holiday everything that every destination has to offer. Being a desert port, this did of course prove difficult, so the Dubai leaders decided to re-create anything they didn't have or that was unsuitable for the natural environment. You will notice this almost immediately after you arrive on your holiday in Dubai. As you leave the airport you will notice lush green gardens dotted around the roads as you make your way to your hotel.

Ski Dubai is just one of the many artificial creations designed to provide those on holiday in Dubai a little bit of everything. Ski Dubai is the first indoor ski resort in the Middle East and offers Skiing, Snow Boarding and Tobogganing. With 5 runs that vary in difficulty, a holiday in Dubai really could be a Ski Holiday. The resort even offers ski chalets at the Kempinski Hotel that looks onto the Piste. Of course if you go Skiing on the mountains, then you will probably be better of just enjoying your Dubai holiday on the beach. But for those who haven't been skiing, a trip to Ski Dubai during your Dubai holiday will be a fantastic opportunity to get a taste of Ski.

Ski Dubai is designed to cater for those who have come on holiday to Dubai for the beach. As such, you will not need to pack Ski wear and Ski equipment when you prepare for your Dubai holiday. The ski shop provides ski equipment for rent and purchase, although rental if probably the more appropriate choice if you are just planning on Skiing whilst on holiday in Dubai.
